In this class we will be creating a Mickey or Minnie ear headband. Over the course of a week learners will design and create their own headband while meeting fellow Disney-loving learners! I believe that learner creativity thrives in a positive and accepting atmosphere and this class is designed to allow learners to inspire and support each other while expressing themselves with their own design. I will be carefully demonstrating each step with a huge emphasis on safety! Learners will finish this course with a completed headband and the skills to make more and more! No previous experience required.

Parental Guidance
In this class we will be working with both scissors and hot glue. We will be carefully going over safety rules and techniques but I HIGHLY recommend using heat resistant gloves to avoid burns.
